Case said AOL got about $17 per subscriber per month. With this quarter's service revenues at $434,167,000 devided by $51 ($17x3mo), I get 8,513,078 paying customers compared to the 9.4 million they stated as their actual customer count at the time. That's about 90.56% of the total or a 9.435% freeload factor.

An adjustment to your calculations. The 8.513 million customers would be the average for the quarter, and the 9.4 million is at the end-of-quarter, which clears up most (perhaps all) of the difference.
